I ordered 2 flats of Georgia Blue. They arrived quickly; the packaging was great. Not a drop of soil was lost and the plants were all green and happy. They gave me a great deal and I will definitely order from them again.

I purchased hosta's for the first time here last spring (sorry I'm so late with the review ). They are doing wonderful this year. I bought "Rainforest Sunrise" and "Fragrant Blue". Beautiful now, thankyou!

I recently ordered two flats of the 4" pots of Variegated Liriope based on the positive comments I'd seen here. They were shipped from Ga.on June 9 and arrived in Cincinnati on June 10. I was extremely pleased with the size, quality and condition of the plants which far exceeded my expectations. When you mail order, especially from a new place (this was my 1st order), you never know what to expect.......and I was surprised and quite pleased by the plants I rec'd. Mike and Linda obviously run a quality business and provide healthy, high quality plants at a reasonable cost. I will definitely order from Blooming Designs again in the future based on this experience.

I just received my first order of roses from Bloomin Designs and was very impressed with how well they were packed and how healthy the roses were. I wanted the new varieties of Knockout roses and had a hard time finding them; but when I checked out Bloomin Designs site, they had every variety I wanted and the price was very reasonable. Happy Day! ;) In addition, the email I received as to the shipment being sent and when I could expect to receive it, was right on the mark. Living in Florida I knew I was taking a chance ordering roses this late in the season; but this worked out very well. I look forward to ordering from them again.

I purchased 4 flats of plants and three daylilly plants. The flats came packed with beautiful plants and survived the shipping because of the great packing. I had a question regarding shipping and Mike was very helpful...super service. I also received a discount on the flats. This is an all-round great place to buy plants and I will definitely order from them again.

I ordered a flat of Autumn Fire Sedum on Friday and I got my flat by Wednesday! Woo Hoo! My experience with this company was ALL good. I was confused on how to get the discount for flats and I left a message. They got right back with me and honored the discount with no glitches or hitches. Great to work with. NICE people. And the plants are healthy and happy to boot! I will definitely use this site again. -- Tennessee
Bloomin' Designs sent me one flat of ajuga and one flat of Chrysogonum. BD's are 4" pots, filled to the brim, very, very large plants looking very healthy. Price per plant here is less than others I ordered from another company which came in only 3" pots and look sickly by comparison. My order was shipped very quickly, the packaging was outstanding, plants arrived in perfect condition and pots were filled to overflowing. Shipping costs were also reasonable.
Wonderful varieties of hostas offered. The site has them categorized by size, which I appreciated. I didn't have to sort through all of them to get the size I wanted. Mike & Linda worked with me on the best shipping date for my area. I was notified of shipment and the plants arrived fresh and healthy. I am very happy with the great plants and great service!
I am excited about this company. I bought bareroot knockout roses from this company a few weeks ago and the roots were about 10 to 12 inches long and many of them. I also bought some packaged knockouts from Lowes and their rootbase was about 6 inches long. Needless to say the roses from Bloomin' designs are thriving and the ones from Lowes are struggling. I can't wait to purchase more products from this company.

I'm really blown away by my experience with Bloomin' Designs! I've purchased plants from a number of mail order nurseries over the years, but BD's was by far the best experience I've had. My order was shipped very quickly, the packaging was outstanding, plants arrived in perfect condition and pots were filled to overflowing. Shipping costs were also the most reasonable I've seen. You won't be disappointed!
I got my hostas and knockout roses in perfect condition! They were packed well and very fresh. One of the biggest I have every recieved by mail order. Very quick shipping! The people at Bloomin Designs were also very helpful when it came to assisting me in picking my selection that would work for my yard in my zone. They even gave me planting and care tips! It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend them to anyone. You will definately be receiving more of my business in the future.
I want to thank you for the rapid shipping of my daylilies order (ordered on Sunday, the flat arrived the following Wednesday & the rest arrived on Thursday).
Now, I have done business with the leading mail-order nurseries, but I must say 'Bloomin Designs' tops them all. The nursery stock arrived in excellent condition, and the care taken in packaging them for shipment shows your pride of providing quality plants in top condition.
I certainly will recommend your nursery to everyone interested in the type of plants you provide. So much so, I will be sending you an order for some Care Free Roses to finish my Fall planting.
Purchased Hostas 2 weeks ago. The service I got from Mike and Linda was extremely prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable! And the plants I received were very healthy, and generous! In fact, I will be making another hosta purchase from them this week.
THE BEST ORDERING EXPERIENCE EVER ONLINE! Bloomin Designs met and surpassed all of my expectations. Fast shipping, great product selection, and knowledgeable staff that answered all my questions. The plants I received were nicely wrapped and were beautiful healthy large plants. I have found my company to do long term business with to feed my plant obsession. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who expects the same great service. I LOVE BLOOMIN DESIGNS! These are passionate plant lovers! A great big thanks to Mike and Linda the owners! I will be in contact soon :)
I recently received my first order from Bloomin Designs and immediately placed my second order. Excellent web site, selection, quality, customer service, communication, packaging, and prices!! And a reasonable shipping fee -- unusual! Good to find a supplier who carries some of the harder-to find-species. If my initial experience with this company is any indication of how they operate their business all the time, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them.

I just received my first order of plants from Bloomin Designs nursery, and the daylilies were very nice, large rooted plants. The packing was great, very neatly wrapped in wet paper towels and plastic wrap, the plants looked as though they had just been removed from the garden. Also, the bonus plant was great, Strawberry Fields Forever, one that is usually too pricey for me to purchase, so that was a pleasant surprise. I am very satisfied and plan to order again when I need more plants.

The plants were so well packed, that they stayed in really good condition until I was able to plant them. Alabama had been very hot, and even that did not seem to affect the quality of the plants. I will definitely order from them again.
This was my first order from Bloomin Designs. I was impressed with their website, the wonderful variety of plants and ease in ordering. Their email response was immediate, everything I ordered was in stock, was shipped and received in a matter of days. The bareroot plants are large, look extremely healthy and were packed beautifully. I will definitely order from them again.
Wonderful place to order from! Fast service, questions answered promptly, order shipped right away! Plants arrived much larger than expected, packaged very well, lots of attention to them. Trimmed, wrapped in damp paper towels and then layer of plastic. Big roots, nicely cleaned. Will be ordering from Bloomin Designs again!
First time that I've ordered from them. Very good prices. Had some hard to find items. Very fast shipping. Plants all were larger than expected, very well wrapped and in great shape.
A very satisfied customer. Would not hesitate to buy from again.

This is the first year I have ordered from Bloomin Designs and I was so pleased with the first order that I immediately placed a second order. Daylilies and hostas were both very nice, healthy plants and I was especially pleased with ferns that I ordered. The first order included a fern that was just breaking dormancy and the invoice included a handwritten note explaining that and also telling me that the fern was already used to being outdoors. Both communication and packing are outstanding.

Ordered roses and hostas from Bloomin Designs Nursery in late winter. The plants were shipped exactly when I asked them to be, and arrived in good condition.
Just received my first order from this company. Ordering was simple, communication was quick and concise, and delivery was rapid. The daylilies I received were beautiful, good-sized, healthy, clean and expertly trimmed and handled. The tag (a long, clearly marked bright orange tape) is easy to see, read and find. Am I a satisfied customer who will order again? You bet! Here are gardeners who treat their stock like it was going into their own garden, and I have every confidence these plants will be blooming and flourishing for many years to come. Thank you for your expertise and great plants -- definitely a POSITIVE experience.

GREAT service, GREAT selection, GREAT plants, GREAT prices…
This is the second year I have made purchases from Bloomin Designs. Mike and Linda are very informative and helpful, their plants are the highest quality and excellent size, and their selection is quiet extensive.
The plants I purchased last year were outstanding, and are coming up this spring like gang busters, much better than my local nursery purchases (of some of the same plant types). Many of their hosta offering are unusual and not commonly offered by other vendors. The plants are very healthy (my theory as to why they are doing so well the second year) and generous. I returned for more this year…same quality, service, and selection at very reasonable pricing…
Defiantly a premier vendor…
Thanks Mike and Linda…

Great customer service, great plant stock, nice caring people I highly reccomend Mike & Linda's Bloomin Designs Nursery.
However getting set up on "Dave's Garden" feedback protocol website was a pain in the butt. "Dave", take a lesson from Mike & Linda, make it easy on the customer.
I ordered 3 seperate orders back to back and was thrilled to have them come in much faster than I expected. The quality of the plants is great, I can't wait to see them bloom. They are so friendly and helpful. Just send them an e-mail and they get right back to you - no waiting weeks for a response.
These guys have tons of plants to choose from, all colors of the rainbow and all price ranges. You can bet I'll be placing more orders!!!
I ordered my first daylilies from Bloomindesign last year and just received my 3rd order. I LOVE their plants. I will continue to buy daylilies from them. The prices are right and the plants are large and healthy.
I highly recommend them!

Recently received our second order from Bloomin Designs, and plants looked just as good as they did in our first order, made last fall. Plants ordered from other mail order companies were tiny in comparison to the plants received with each order from Bloomin Designs. Thought we would let Dave's Garden know what we are telling our friends - Bloomin Designs is now our first choice when ordering plants.
We have several plants from Bloomin Designs. They come back every year brighter and stronger. Every order is better than the last. Ready to order again this year. Linda and Mike are very knowledgeable and very freindly. I know they say Linda knows more than Mike, but Linda's bother Bernie know more than either of them. Thanks for the beautiful summers you give us and for making all the neighbors envy us.

I ordered from Bloomin Designs last year and I am getting ready to place my order for this spring. I am a hosta collector and much surprised with their inventory. My order arrived nicely packaged and healthy. Can't wait until spring. Thanks Bloomin Designs!!

We have received a number of plants (hostas, daylilies, phlox and roses) from Linda and Mike. They have always given us good advise on the right plants for our garden, and we learned a lot from the wealth of information provided on the web site.
All plants have been packed well, with excellant root systems and all the plants received have grown beyond our expectations. We will be back for more.

THEIR CATALOG IS VERY EASY TO READ ON LINE. I HAVE ORDERED 3 TIMES AND WERE SENT VERY LARGE, HEALTHY PLANTS AND WITHN A FEW DAYS. NO OTHER COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH, WAS THAT ACCOMMODATING. I PERSONALLY TALKED WITH LINDA, THE OWNER, AND IMMEDIATELY FELT HER WARMTH AND GENUINE LOVE OF HER BUSINESS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY AND HAVE MENTIONED THEM TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS. THE QUALITY AND PRICE OF THEIR PLANTS CANNOT BE MATCHED.
I ordered just five daylilies and never have I had such excellent service from any online company, and their web site is one of the easiest to order from that I have encountered. The daylilies arrived in two days, as promised, they were beautiful specimens, healthy and green and each was wrapped in wet paper, then plastic, then newspaper. I have already recommended them to our garden club.
I would have to HIGHLY recommend purchases from Bloomin' Designs. I found them through Garden Watchdog (thank you fellow Dave's Garden members!) and purchased a fairly small sized order (2 triple fans each of Pandora's Box and Rosy Returns daylilies - and at GREAT prices!!) just so I could try them out. Even though there was a slight mix up with my order, they called immediately and got everything straightened up very quickly. They mailed my plants right away and I got them in just a few days - MUCH faster than the weeks and even months I've waited when ordering from other sites. I even got a couple of free hostas in the process. :) The plants are all healthy, large, and priced VERY well. Mike and Linda were very friendly and definitely know their plants, and I would recommend calling or emailing them if you'd like a recommendation or more information on a particular plant. They were a pleasure to deal with and I will definitely be putting in a much larger order in the spring, once I have a chance to make room for more plants.
This is my first order from Bloomin Designs. I ordered 75 daylilies and they were beautiful! Large, green tops and healthy root systems. They were packed in wet paper towels in plastic, all taped up so no damage at all. They were also very inexpensive! Like 5 and 6 dollars for the ones I got. And there were a few presents in the box too as a thanks for my large order! I am very impressed.

Very impressive. My order was small (one plant!) to try them out, but the variety I ordered was four times as expensive at one of their competitors. I received a nice sized, trimmed but very green, double fan with a VERY LARGE and well developed root system (nicely cleaned, too, which was a pleasant surprise.) I will definitely order from them again.
